Brandy's by the Bay

Need a drink after that long trip into port? Brandy’s by the Bay has drinks to serve before you even leave the docks!

Carved out of an old warehouse, Brandy’s sits at the edge of the docks between the warehouses and the city. Whether the PCs seek drinks, stories, or ships to find passage on, Brandy’s provides them all. Sailors, traveling merchants, and dockworkers fill the bar every night seeking little more than a drink, a smoke, and time to relax. Where is Brandy’s lost husband? Is he a dreaded pirate, or a cheating husband buried beneath the floorboards? Only you and your PCs can decide.

City Streets

Has dungeon work worn your adventurers down? Are they searching for something new and different? Need a place to get rid of their newfound wealth? Maybe it is time to hit the streets!

City Streets products provide heavily detailed city locations designed for enjoyable role-playing encounters while also including enough adventure hooks to encourage the characters to head back into danger. Whether it is a tavern, shop, guild house, noble's manor, or massage parlor, each of these locations contains detailed information about the building, business, and the NPCs living or working there. NPC descriptions are detailed but contain no statistical information making them useful with any game system.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
